One Roverman and one or two others might find interesting.
I hadn't realised until recently that IAH publish figures that can be used to assess the overall loads on SQ51/52.
There is a slight discrepancy between the IAH numbers and the UK's CAA numbers which is likely to be because one rotation took off from IAH in May and landed at MAN in June (or vice versa). These are highlighted below.
June 2017
21 rotations, 42 sectors.
IAH-SIN: 3,035 - 72 ave per sector.
MAN-SIN: 6,632 - 158 ave per sector
MAN IAH: 6,199 - 148 ave per sector
Note: IAH figures have IAH-MAN as 141 ave per sector.
This means the following:
SIN-MAN: 230 av per sector, 91% LF
MAN-IAH: 220 av per sector, 87% LG
If you take IAH figures, MAN-IAH is 213 per sector, 84% LF
For comparison, SQ's network average is 80% and the passenger break even load factor is 82.2%.
Compared to when the route was via DME, the MAN-IAH sectors on cargo and passenger show around a 100% improvement (i.e. They have doubled).
All in all, SQ can probably be rather pleased with the decision as this route looks to be trending in the right direction overall.
